Oregon and Washington BS thread

I'd just land in PDX and shoot down I-205 to I-5 to Medford. ~4-4.5 hours.

Ok smart Taco guys...new issue started this morning on the way to work.

It was semi-raining so I turned on my intermittent wipers. They made one swipe up and down, then they started up again and stopped instead of stopping in the full down position like normal.

Then after intermittenness, they swiped 3 times instead of just once like normal. I tried adjusting the speed but it didn't help. I DID hit the wiper fluid button earlier, so I'm wondering if it's failed/failing, causing the system to think it's always in wash mode.

I didn't try turning the truck off and trying again...I'll see after work.

Thoughts?

 

Wiper motor going out, linkage from wiper motor to blades, not likely but possible that bolts holding blades in place are loose. Could be the switch as well.

Anyone here recognize this POS.

 

Don't recognize it, but that isn't going to be a hard one to identify.

 

SeaTac would definitely be your best bet

 

I've seen that truck. Either in my area (fairwood) or Georgetown. Can't remember which. But I know I HAVE seen it. That stupid headache rack is a dead giveaway.

 

Hi everyone, recent owner of a tacoma, but an avid car enthusiast. I'm a 10 year member of m3forum, love working on cars and i've never taken a car to a mechanic except for alignments and wheels balancing. Looks like there's a large taco population here in Wa, I look forward to bs'n with you all

 

Yes that headache rack is a dead giveaway... I think I have seen it in Renton/Newcastle/Factoria areas.

 

@bobsuruncle your armor is on its way west. Just met @JDAM and he is going now. I suggest that you see him tonight so you can get the armor to put on tomorrow. I forgot to toss him a bag of bolts, but the first 4 are factory bolts and the other 2 that hold the back end up are 8-1.25.

 

Awesome, will do. URD is taking their sweet ass time shipping my headers and y pipe so it will give me something to do beside work 68hrs a week while I wait for exhaust.

Thanks again!

 

Now that I think about it, 405 northbound at 169. He almost ran me off the road.

 

Lets go vigilante and hunt this fool down

 

Come visit me when you are done. I have plenty of acreage to bury a body

 

With the plate number, shouldn't it be easy-peasy for the police to track this MF-er down? I'm in the Renton Highlands area, so it would seem that spotting this truck is a high probability. Any better (higher res or larger) images of the truck and/or trailer?

 

The plate given was for the trailer I think. Which is why they aren't searching for the theif.

 

Thieves paint trailers (with rattle cans) and switch plates all the time. One of CVT's space trailers was stolen from their shop and located a week later in Sun River. It was rattle canned black.

 

Allegedly... right?

 

May not get the trailer back. But, with a video of the act and a truck that easily recognized, should be able to get a conviction (probably a plea deal).

 

FTFY..
